1 – Buy blood oranges - big round ones - for V's birthday cake
2 – Write a scathing review on life's brilliant portrayal of Quarter-Life crisis.
3 – Unclog the kitchen sink. Pull out remnants of your hair from the bathroom drain. Wash away your scent from the pillowcases. Free our skeletons from the sheets.
4 – Keep this beaten box littered with keepsakes of your tired smile.
5 – Clean the foyer. Take out the trash.
6 – Pick up your fallen lashes from between the crevices of the sofa - these remnants of your belonging was once mundane. Now, they are ghosts haunting my sleep.
7 – Write a eulogy for the forgotten love, laid to rest upon spitting embers.
8 – Make tomorrow's list.
9 – Forget your naked, thieving smile. Forget your proud smirk when you can't admit defeat. Forget your fingerprints etched on glass walls caging my treacherous chord.
10 – Admit it is time to forget.
11 – Feed the dog. Empty the kitty litter.
12 – Try 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 again. Maybe, tomorrow. Empty this list of you.
